Build it. Improve it. Own it.

Are you a hands-on Supply Chain leader who enjoys turning operational challenges into opportunities?

This is an opportunity to take ownership of a supply chain operation and genuinely shape what it becomes. Joining a rapidly growing manufacturing business, you will initially focus on strengthening the Warehouse & Logistics operation before expanding your remit across planning, procurement, supplier performance and inventory management.

You will have the freedom to challenge the status quo, introduce structure, improve processes and build the systems, team and capability needed to support the next stage of growth.

What you will be doing

Take full ownership of the Warehouse & Logistics operation, covering goods-in, storage, production picking, material flow and customer dispatch.
Lead, develop and structure the Warehouse, Supply Chain and Procurement teams, creating clear accountability and a high-performing culture.
Transform warehouse processes, layout, stock accuracy and material flow, introducing robust KPIs, standards and operating disciplines.
Champion the effective use of ERP/MRP systems, reducing manual processes and improving automation, scanning and transactional accuracy.
Develop and embed Demand & Capacity Planning, translating customer demand into manufacturing, labour, material, inventory and warehouse requirements.
Strengthen production and materials planning to improve availability, reduce shortages and minimise disruption.
Lead Procurement and Supplier Performance, developing strategic supplier relationships, SLAs, scorecards, cost improvements and supply resilience.
Own inventory strategy and working capital, improving stock visibility, inventory turns and control of excess and obsolete stock.
Drive continuous improvement and Lean thinking, using data and structured problem-solving to eliminate waste and recurring issues.
Work collaboratively with Operations, Production, Quality, Commercial and Senior Leadership to identify risks, solve problems and support business growth.
Ensure supply chain and warehouse activities operate safely and effectively within a regulated manufacturing environment.

What we are looking for

You will be an experienced Supply Chain Leader with Warehouse and Logistics experience:

Strong, hands-on warehouse management experience and a track record of improving or transforming operations.
Previous experience within a highly regulated manufacturing environment, such as medical devices, pharmaceuticals, healthcare or FMCG.
Strong knowledge of demand and capacity planning, inventory and materials management.
Good ERP/MRP experience and a genuine interest in improving systems and processes.
Experience managing suppliers, procurement and logistics.
A data-driven approach and a passion for continuous improvement.
Proven leadership experience, with the ability to develop teams and influence from the factory floor through to senior leadership.

The person

We are looking for an entrepreneurial and driven leader who thrives on transformational change and enjoys building high-performing teams.

You will be someone who sees opportunity in challenges, takes ownership and has the energy, ambition and commercial mindset to make things happen. You will be just as comfortable getting close to an issue on the warehouse floor as you are presenting solutions to the Senior Leadership Team.

If you are looking for a role where you can genuinely shape the future of a growing operation and see the impact of your work, this could be the opportunity for you.
